Time-dependent Scattering Theory for Schrödinger Operators on Scattering Manifolds *

چکیده
We construct a time-dependent scattering theory for Schrödinger operators on a manifold M with asymptotically conic structure. We use the two-space scattering theory formalism, and a reference operator on a space of the form R×∂M , where ∂M is the boundary of M at infinity. We prove the existence and the completeness of the wave operators, and show that our scattering matrix is equivalent to the absolute scattering matrix, which is defined in terms of the asymptotic expansion of generalized eigenfunctions. Our method is functional analytic, and we use no microlocal analysis in this paper.

Energy transfer in scattering by rotating potentials
Quantum mechanical scattering theory is studied for time-dependent Schrödinger operators, in particular for particles in a rotating potential. Under various assumptions about the decay rate at infinity we show uniform boundedness in time for the kinetic energy of scattering states, existence and completeness of wave operators, and existence of a conserved quantity under scattering. In a simple ...
متن کاملGeometric Scattering Theory and Applications
Classical scattering theory, by which we mean the scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves and quantum particles, is a very old discipline with roots in mathematical physics. It has also become an important part of the modern theory of linear partial differential equations. Spectral geometry is a slightly more recent subject, the goal of which is to understand the connections between th...
متن کاملSchrödinger Operators and Associated Hyperbolic Pencils
For a large class of Schrödinger operators, we introduce the hyperbolic quadratic pencils by making the coupling constant dependent on the energy in the very special way. For these pencils, many problems of scattering theory are significantly easier to study. Then, we give some applications to the original Schrödinger operators including one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with L– operator-va...
متن کاملInvariant manifolds for a class of dispersive, Hamiltonian, partial differential equations
We construct an invariant manifold of periodic orbits for a class of non-linear Schrödinger equations. Using standard ideas of the theory of center manifolds, we rederive the results of Soffer and Weinstein ([SW1], [SW2]) on the large time asymptotics of small solutions (scattering theory).
متن کاملInverse Scattering Theory for One-dimensional Schrödinger Operators with Steplike Periodic Potentials
We develop direct and inverse scattering theory for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with steplike potentials which are asymptotically close to different finite-gap periodic potentials on different half-axes. We give a complete characterization of the scattering data, which allow unique solvability of the inverse scattering problem in the class of perturbations with finite second moment.
